"I appreciate the kind intentions of all the deans, but I’m really busy these days and don’t have time to absorb more knowledge."
Qian Qi lowered her hands and smiled, "Besides, my charisma is solely due to magic potions, unrelated to command talent, and the awakened skills were acquired through instance strategies. I’m not really an awakener."
"Your two colleges have no shortage of geniuses and talents, you surely don’t lack me, so there’s no need to rush recruiting me. I bet you aren’t firmly set on having me, right?"
She gazed deeply at Fan Jinghai and Lu Jian’an, "Right, Deans?"
Lu Jian’an and Fan Jinghai exchanged glances and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.
They probably didn’t expect a student like Qian Qi to see things so clearly. She was right, there are many better than her, and the Command Department and Skill Department indeed wouldn’t miss her. The reason they wanted her to join was just to not miss a valuable student.
People of value are always noticed and wanted, nobody would complain about having too many capable individuals under their wing, right?
"So, you’re planning to join our Beast Taming Department?" Xi Mingde exclaimed with surprise, Qian Qi joining the Beast Taming Department was undoubtedly the right choice; it needed talent like hers for beast taming.
"Yes, but I will finish my own tasks before heading to the Beast Taming Department." Qian Qi thought to herself, getting a degree from the Beast Taming Department would be nice after all...
A certificate isn’t much, but it helps raise a salary! If she needed to sneak into other teams for tasks, being hired as a certified beast master meant better pay!
Not taking advantage of opportunities would be a disgrace to her frugal ways!
"Then we respect your decision as such." Lu Jian’an increasingly admired Qian Qi’s smart and clear mind, "Let’s discuss the Concentration Fruit. Our Command Department has decided to purchase a regular batch for rewarding E-level spiritual power students with excellent performance."
Her ears perked up at the mention of business, and Qian Qi eagerly rubbed her hands, "Oh, Dean Lu, having someone like you who thinks of students in the Command Department is indeed their blessing and Awakener University’s fortune!"
"For an educator like you, our Magic Plant Department will, of course, spare time from our busy schedule to plant Concentration Fruit for the Command Department students. However..." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveIꜰire.net
Qian Qi mischievously glanced at the principal and Li Hongsheng, her tone intentionally cautious, "To be honest, our Magic Plant Department is facing a tight issue lately..."
"Oh?" Lu Jian’an extended a hand, "Please, elaborate."
"Sigh, you know, more and more people are joining our Magic Plant Department, leading to planting more magic plants, and this little hillside plantation at the foot of the mountain..." She frowned, "It’s not quite enough!"
They understood, she clearly wanted another hillside!
"With the rapid development of the Magic Plant Industry, the Magic Plant Department indeed should expand its campus range." The principal nodded in agreement, looking like he had to go out and solicit school donations from several families, "Fine, I can authorize another hillside for the Magic Plant Department as a plantation."
"Additionally..." Qian Qi expressed with worry, "I plan to plant some C-level magic plants, they’re somewhat dangerous, and mixing them with students’ magic plants isn’t safe. It would be a loss if injury occurred."
She cast a sidelong glance at the principal, "Do you agree, Principal?"
You kid better not push your luck! Want a hillside and now also asking for an exclusive hillside?
You think you’re the Monkey King, wanting to take over a mountain?
"Alright, as long as you can research magic plants beneficial to humans, you can have these." The principal said wearily, "But since the school provides a free mountain, you..."
"I understand, I understand," Qian Qi fervently nodded, "The methods I teach students for planting, aren’t they practically nothing short of free offerings? There’s no one more generous than me in the whole world, Principal!"
It’s like you don’t need these students to help you make money; I heard the profits from selling Fire Qilin Fruits alone amounted to millions. What college could be richer than your Magic Plant Department!
"Now that the hillside issue is resolved, our Magic Plant Department can plant Concentration Fruit and regularly provide them for the Command Department College. Dean Lu, I believe the partnership between the Magic Plant Department and the Command Department will yield mutual progress, fostering a cooperative and win-win relationship!" Qian Qi held Dean Lu’s hand sincerely, "Let’s all fulfill our wishes!"
By now, the Magic Plant Department had forged beneficial cooperative relationships with both the Skill Department and Command Department. As she decrypted more magic plants and unlocked more contracted beast evolution and cultivation, the relationship between the Magic Plant Department and Magic Beast Department and Beast Taming Department would be closer.
By then, the Magic Plant Department would become a powerful chain locking the lifeline of the four major departments, able to act recklessly at Awakener University—whatever she desired, wilfully!
By then, want priority purchasing access to magic plants?
Then come work for the Magic Plant Department first!
"That’s great, oh..." Lu Jian’an, oblivious of his department being choked, tactfully asked, "Qian Qi, do you have a way to boost D-level spiritual power to C-level?"
"No." Qian Qi replied decisively, "Not currently."
Currently... meaning future possibilities? Lu Jian’an thought aloud, then beamed, "Let’s delve into the Concentration Fruit then."
They drafted an interdepartmental cooperation contract regarding the Concentration Fruit, sanctioned by Li Hongsheng, assigning a new task to the Magic Plant Department: planting E-level Concentration Fruit.
After sending off the deans, Qian Qi turned to the principal.
"Principal..." Qian Qi spoke long-windedly with vigour, "You know, like having children requires seeds, so planting Concentration Fruit needs seeds, right? But now..."
The principal, aware of her consistent intent for the Concentration Fruit, sighed, "I’ve already pushed the Concentration Fruit into your department’s fertiliser warehouse."
"Principal!" Qian Qi gasped, filled with tears of gratitude, "You’ve finally grown up, finally showing concern for my hardships, boohoo—students’ hearts feel wondrously comforted!"
Darn it, does her skin itch again!?
Suppressing the urge to smack her, the principal exhaled deeply, reminding with bulging veins, "The matter of the Magic Beast Eggs must remain confidential, don’t let it spread. Let them hatch with you for now."
Qian Qi’s eyes flickered, she tentatively asked, "Principal, do you know something about the young magic beasts and magic beast eggs...?"
"That’s not for you to know yet. Just take good care of the eggs honestly." The principal waved her off, issuing a dismissal order, "Alright, off you go."
Qian Qi pouted and turned to leave, "If you won’t say, I’ll just let the magic beasts hatch hundreds of progeny in the warehouse; let them scuttle across the playground, see if you can cover it up then."
Qian Qi, are you the devil?!
